The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

"Originally, we couldn't figure it out at all. Look, Takeya, the elder sister you know well, the ancestor Miko Shizuki, she was born in Gensokyo and grew up in Gensokyo. All her bonds are in Gensokyo. Yes, then—why did she leave without warning 18 years ago?"

Yakumo Zi tapped Takeya's gradually fragmented heart with a grotesque tone: "Who can convince her who has lived in Gensokyo all her life? Her friends are all staying in Gensokyo, so the only possibility is Gensokyo But, do you think a mere outsider can persuade Shizu to leave Gensokyo?"

"Ah... uh..."

Yakumo Zi's words are like a sharp knife, and Wu also hopes to chop them into pieces. If it is nonsense, he can still deceive himself, but that is a doubt that existed from the beginning.

Yes, Jing, who grew up as a shrine maiden in Gensokyo, has no reason to go to the outside world at all, even if it is because she heard the secret of Hakurei shrine maiden, she has no reason to leave and go to that strange place alone.

Someone must have convinced her.

But who is it?Who on earth could convince Shizu who was completely trapped in Gensokyo at that time?

The answer is - no one can do it.

Wu also knows his elder sister very well. After all, it is Jing who has taken care of him like a child for more than ten years. He knows very well how much that is a person who attaches great importance to bonds.

The mission of the Hakurei Miko has been deeply rooted in her bones, and even her companions in Gensokyo cannot convince her, let alone outsiders, even if she really learned of the tragic fate of the Hakurei Miko, she would not do such a thing.

If it was for Reimu, everything would still be possible, but that was 18 years ago!At that time, Reimu hadn't even been born yet!

It's just that everything had already happened, so Wu didn't have any reason to doubt the established facts.

And now, Yakumo Zi told him, a certain guess——

"Hey, you know that too, right? What kind of maiden is Jing, so, Takeya, who do you think can convince her? She is willing in the outside world, there is no half unwillingness, no one can force her , but there is one exception.”

Turning his eyes slowly to Takeya, Yakumo Zi's whisper was like a nightmare of the second coming: "It's you, if I remember correctly, Takeya, you who can travel across time and space at will also have the power to manipulate people's hearts, right? ?”

"Ugh...!"

That was a fatal blow.

At this moment, the void in Wu Ye's heart expanded to almost swallow him whole.

Accompanied by the throbbing pain in his head, a strange picture appeared in front of his eyes. It was in Gensokyo 18 years ago from the era he was in, when Shizuka was still a Hakurei Miko.

Just like Adam, he appeared in Gensokyo wearing a night vision device as a mask on his head. He stole the body of Yuko Saigoyoke, in order to prevent himself who got the weapon of great crime from being killed in the future. Yuko's influence reveals her identity as a dragon god in advance.

Then, he caused a change to block the enchantment of Gensokyo, in order to distract Zi, and finally, he came to the Hakurei Shrine, and met Jing, who was a witch at the time.

"Ah..."

Pale syllables continued to come out of Wu Ye's mouth, forming a series of meaningless moans. He couldn't tell whether it was a hallucination after being stimulated or something that had actually happened and was revived as a memory.

However, what Zi said is correct, if no one can persuade Jing to leave Gensokyo, then it seems that she has the only possibility of persuading her to leave Gensokyo with the weapon of great crime.

But, but in this way...

"No one needs you. The so-called love and caring are just a farce directed and performed by you. Wu Ye, think about it carefully. Those people who you think love you, their love for you Is love real?"

The terrifying chain broke all of Wu Ye's defenses in an instant. Zi's words were just speculation, but when all possibilities were turned towards that kind of speculation, the speculation would become reality.

When what he believed to be true turned into falsehood, Wu Ye's entire personality was shattered, and his outline was deformed to an unrecognizable degree.

It was he who manipulated Jing, that's why Jing extended a helping hand to him who was helpless at that time, and raised him like a child. All of this was a play he directed and acted on his own?

If this is the case, what about the daughter and aunt?

Would he have done the same thing to his daughter-in-law?Otherwise, why would an aunt who couldn't even take care of Elliot take the initiative to ask to take care of her nephew whom she had never met?

Fake—all, all fake?

The instrument of the mortal sin of lust.

It was a prop with the power to manipulate people's hearts. He had already felt the power brought by that power. If everything was as Zi speculated, then how many people did he manipulate?

Maybe it's not just static?Maybe every friend he made friends with was manipulated by the weapon of great crime?

Whenever Wu Ye thought of a friend's name, there would be another crack in his heart, Yakumo Zi opened his head, and then Wu Ye watched his heart gradually fragmented, until he walked into the abyss of collapse.

"Look, like we said, Takeya, you have never been loved by anyone, and you have never loved anyone at all!!"

Yakumo Zi's face distorted at this moment, turning into a terrifying monster, trying to devour Takeya to death.

That doesn't work.

because--

"I have……"

the person I like.

Warm, elegant, very important to me, even because of Yuko's promise, she became the most important person, and my biggest expectation was that she could also get happiness.

Freed from Yuko's sadness, when he solves Hakurei Miko's problem one day in the future, she might be able to really show that kind of comfortable smile, just like how it was in front of Yuko once upon a time, and then, the three of them Let's enjoy the cherry blossoms together in the new spring.

It wasn't just because of Yuko's request, starting from being able to understand the kindness of others, Takeshi had an unusual emotion for that gap monster, and this emotion turned into a family-like relationship after Shizuku left. rely.

No matter what kind of difficulties I can solve for myself, she is always standing behind me, perhaps out of sight, but the feeling of peace of mind will never disappear.

If it was for her, even if it was to fight that tyrant, he would not hesitate. For a while, Wu Ye even had such a bold idea.

It is precisely because of this thought that he has been working hard to endure the tearing pain until now, patience, patience, and desperate endurance.

If everyone has the possibility of being manipulated by the weapon of great crime, then Yakumo Zi, who has no soul, is the only object that cannot be manipulated.

Her love for herself is real.
